Tried to wear a pocket square but mum said it made me look like a wanker (or more of one )

If you wear a white only pocket square, folded, just showing, and with a white shirt only, you should get away with it as it can nicely break up the colour of suit and shirt. Try this for a little while and see if you still draw unwarranted attention. I can't think of a more conservative way to wear a pocket square. If that doesn't work, nothing will.

Too true, innovative with an ability to tap into current society to make it relevant, R&J post Cronulla riots and JC re Rudd and Gillard power plays. Saw Waiting for Godot STC production last year $110 a ticket but 3 rows from the front, brilliant.

Blue Jasmine is a great film, strong story and cast delivers the goods. Pity the Mia Farrow white anting campaign being played out at present.

Not an opera buff but SSO tickets A reserve at the Opera House are over $100 these days, sigh remembers student price of $20 back in the 90's, live culture is not cheap, hence film being the dominant entertainment medium.

I agree with J-Ho in regard to the above.

A linen pocket square in either a plain colour, or with a small border in a slightly different colour (ie sky blue linen with a white border or white linen with a sky blue border) in a conservative fold with look pretty inconspicuous but will still help to break up the outfit.

Wearing braces for the first time today. Very pleasant although I sewed the buttons onto my trousers slightly unevenly. I am wearing one of my fuller shirts, and the way that it billows and folds around the forks of the braces is a little irritating, but darts would solve this I think.

Navy 3 piece suit
C&J Tetbury boots in black
On the look out for some more cashmere scarves. HenryCarter getting any more? I've got a Grey one which is excellent.

Johnston of Elgin have some pretty good cashmere scarves and arent too expensive. Easy to find on ebay.

I have one that was designed for Hugo Boss but was rejected and ended up on ebay, so im probably one of like 2 people who own that scarf #fkyea.

Agreed.
Haven't we been through this? We should not let our women (mothers wives etc...) dress us. In the main they simply don't have a clue. My wife spends an untold fortune every year on flimsily make 'designer' stuff. And yes, I think she looks great but whenever I suggest she finds a decent dressmaker/whatever and spends some money on bespoke she looks at me like I have two heads. Or what about shoes. She thinks nothing of dropping $500 on a pair of heels that are a) very bad for your feet/spine/etc.. and b) only last a year at most. When I spend $500 on a pair of shoes they will be hand made and will last a fucking lifetime. And they will fit me, will not incur bills from the osteopath bla bla bla.
Try asking a woman to buy you a business shirt. You know, when she says 'what do you want for xmas' and you go, 'oh I don't know just get me a shirt'. You will never get a nice plain pale blue or white shirt. Some bastard monstrosity with stripes or checks or a weird collar in a garish colour. WTF is that?
